Favorite Universal Studios Attraction

[SirGoofy]

Oh wow...well I'm glad you've had that experience!
But I'll admit...I'm biased towards Disney
Even so, we've experience rude employees at Universal and it just doesn't do much for me theme wise.
At Disney, I feel like I'm at theme parks...while at Universal, I feel like I'm at an amusement park.

I'm biased towards Disney a bit too...considering I work there.:lol:

I just feel like sometimes Disney fans go to Universal looking for things to point out as wrong.:shrug:

Yes, you're probably right, I'll admit.

Oh I didn't know that...where do you work at The World?

Jungle Cruise Navigation company.

Why do all of the Disney fanboys get so upset when someone mentions Universal? Why can't people like BOTH? :shrug: I happen to think highly of both park companies.

Anyway....for me it's Spiderman (even tho it's not listed)

 

[DizneyPryncess]

My favorite ride there is MIB, it was the first one I ever rode like it. Then I rode Buzz Lightyear and love that too. My favorite kind of ride

Jungle Cruise Navigation company.

Oh that's awesome... aka a Skipper?

 

[SirGoofy]

That would be correct.

When my DH and I went last year - we were so disappointed. Hadn't been in ages and so much was the same! Mummy was the only thing we really went WOW over! I will go back when Harry Potter is done though!

 

[DisneyPrincess5]

That would be correct.

Oh how fun...always big laughs there.
We had Micah last time and he had the whole boat laughing...from jokes about the ride to jokes about the passengers!

That's not true at all imo. I've gotten the same level of service from UO that I've gotten from Disney.

Oh yeah? Last year when I went, my dad accidently got me a child's ticket and didn't even know it was a child's ticket! This rude lady checks my tickey and says,"You ain't no child!!! Go to Universal Guest Survices of leave!!!" Services with an "U"...that's not a typo either.I almost started crying! We didn't care if we left! The ticket was free anyway! My mom just went up to her and tole her ,"Fine! Were going to disney world!" The lady didn't say anything after that!

If that was listed that would be my choice too! I like IoA better than USF

 

[DonMuppetFan83]

My vote went to revenge. And as to know spidey thats at IoA which is maybe why it isnt on here. If we were covering both parks mine would be the Hulk Coastser though. Not a huge fan of coasters, i mean i ride all Disney stuff, but i liked Uni's two coasters.

 

[sarah91182]

Revenge of the Mummy, by far. Simpsons is ok, but I miss Back to the Future. It's one of those nostalgic rides. You know, like Horizons! Plus I'm a geek for that trilogy.

Spiderman is fun too, and it was my fave until I went on Revenge!

I have to add as well that neither of Unis parks have the same ambiance as The World. It's okay, but if it not for the occasional free pass they send to people, I wouldn't go. I did have an AP one year because my friends had them (and if they jumped off a bridge, would you do that too?!) for Mardi Gras concerts, and there were 3 cocerts that we wanted to attend, so for the $99 FL resident Coca Cola promo, it was worth it. But probably never again.

See, and I had the same experience when I went to WDW this January. Hadn't been since 2000 and the only brand new things of any importance were EE (terrible) and M:S (not too bad). I'm talking major new attractions, not refurbs like the additions to Pirates or the additions to the Mansion (which were appreciated but not on the same level). Universal had Mummy and Simpsons that were new since 2000 that I noticed. Seems about even to me!
I like Universal quite a bit. I don't think the service there is any better or worse as a whole than Disney today. Now, Disney even twenty years ago Universal was way behind in my opinion. There's room in my heart for both properties.
Of course, any single park on the East Coast pales in comparison to Disneyland!

 

[beyondyou]

i really can't get over how much universal has ripped off from disney basically.

one thing people may not notice(but i def. do working for the mouse) are the nametags. WOW. almost exactly like ours!

it's just kinda annoying.lol

but my vote goes to Revenge, that ride is wicked

 

[dxwwf3]

T2 by far, but Shrek 4D is close behind. Back to the Future would have been #1 for me if you had asked a few years ago.

 

[Thrill Seeker]

It's a toss up between MIB and Mummy, but Mummy takes the cake.

 

[Matpez]

RoTM for sure. The only thing I dislike about it is a false ending 10 feet from the true ending. Other than that, it is top notch in show quality, fun and excitement!
I also enjoy Simpsons and am really looking forward to HRRR although it destroys so much skyline both in Uni and over Suess at IoA.

 

[Jeff456]

Revenge of the mummy however I really like pretty much all the rides at universal, it makes a nice change from disney. I love universal and I couldn't imagine going to Florida and not visiting for a few days.

 

[ChrisFL]

Do you hear that? It's the sound of inevitability...any time Universal is mentioned, somehow people think it's free reign to talk about how many bad things they see there/bad experiences they've had.

I've been going to Universal and Disney parks since 1981/ 1990 for Universal, worked at BOTH and found them to be very similar overall, with good and bad employee experiences at both. I haven't noticed any blatant problems at one more than the other.

As far as the poll, ROTM is awesome, but I also really like MIB.
